Muslim women do not need saving, says female leader of mosque at centre of charity run row
East London Mosque received hateful emails after event for men, boys, and under-12 girls only – but organisers say women’s race was undersubscribed
A female leader at a British mosque accused of excluding women from a charity run has said women in the community have a voice and do not “need saving” by critics who lack an understanding of Muslim values.
East London Mosque, in Tower Hamlets, found itself at the centre of a media firestorm and received dozens of hate mail messages after staging the Muslim Charity Run, open to “men, boys of all ages and girls under 12”. The communities secretary, Steve Reed, later said he was “horrified”. Continue reading...

They did it. They gentrified gentrification.
Housing is genocide sign seen at a NIMBY protest today against a mixed income high rise.
The new homes are less than a few blocks to a trolley stop.
And the neighborhood is majority white and middle to upper income.

It lays it out so clearly and convincingly. China is becoming the world's environmental and energy leader and winning economically while it does it.

Friendly reminder that while the Schengen zone's theoretical lack of passport controls on borders hinges around Freedom of Movement the two are not the same thing. Several EU states outside faced checks for years even with Freedom of Movement.

Thinking right now about that period 14 months ago when lefties were portraying Joe Biden as something akin to a fascist dictator. I took a lot of heat for saying people were being ridiculous and that those attacks on Biden would age extremely poorly if Trump won. And now here we are.

lmao americans gonna fafo?
Trump and Miller are intent on building an unaccountable domestic secret police force that would be the world's third-biggest security force by funding levels, after the US and China's *militaries*.
That kind of funding dwarfs its stated purpose, which tells you what its real purpose will be.

Or the classic "how dare you have fun/make jokes about X under active genocide/fascism"
i've been trying to think of a nice way to say this but some of the people on this site desperately need to realize that not everything has to be about american politics 100% of the time. stop replying to people's unrelated anecdotes and pictures of their dogs with unfunny jokes about donald trump
This site was always political but one of the most notable things about the political folks who came in here recently after hearing about it on cable news is how their minds are cooked enough that they post the same meme 7000 times and I don’t know if that’s Facebook or Twitter but it’s one of them

Also pretty clear that BYD and others are expanding their carship fleets to move stuff into export markets asap - to escape domestic saturation.
My impression is they underestimated the need to have dealer networks in Europe - another bottleneck they are tackling.

Trying to take credit for the strikes while STILL offering Iran a deal. First he distanced himself, now he claims success. Israel’s been building this plan since last year. Maybe it worked because they left him out of the loop after all, as some reports suggested.

Three of our four Coalition for Change leaders are now jailed by the Russian regime in Georgia: Zurab Girchi Japaridze, Nika Melia, and Nika Gvaramia.
All four of them believe firmly in our victory.

Regime court sentenced another opposition leader, Nika Gvaramia, to jail.
Gvaramia didn’t attend his trial and literally showed up at the prison entrance with a packed bag before his sentence was even out because we all knew the outcome of the circus.
What a badass move!

🧵 I argue that we can understand the functioning of democracy through 3 core ideals, verification, deliberation and accountability. While no democracy fully achieves those ideals, this thread explains how MAGA destroys all three and inevitably results in democratic regression into authoritarianism.
The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

And this is why “well, nothing new’s happening so we might as well just try to win some villages or whatever in the local elections” pessimist thought by some political groups is impermissible.
Well, tonight in Georgia is a yet another proof that the situation/resistance is very unpredictable, on edge, and ready to be sparked up even when it seems routine.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

Authoritarianism isn’t imposed on people against their will. It often emerges through their will, distorted by systemic failures that reframe cruelty as justice and power as truth.
